I posted it mainly for product pics (Have you notice Darkshit has destroyed an MVS game shell, they aren't able to make custom shell), not for the text witch is essentially: "wonderfull product, good job Darkshit, etc...".
In fact the screen pics are ugly, there is some loading times but no video, so this test/demo isn't realy usefull.

I heard a rumour once that someone in Europe brought 200 Super Sidekicks (unsure about which version) MVS carts this year from a vendor...

...It was susggested to me at the time that they were going to use them as Sac carts by a certain team...

Unsure if the allegation was correct or not... but this theory doesn't seem to be beyond the realms of imagination...

The thread has "proto" in the title, so this might not be an official release. Plus, who would sell their product in a scratched up, re-purposed shell? Shells are a problem with Darksoft, though. ST-V cartridge had no shell. Taito F3 had no shell. Hell ... Even the CPS3 cartridge I got from Darksoft, which wasn't manufactured by them, came without a shell. So essentially, there was a shell, but someone just took it, I guess? The CPS3 cartridge lacking the shell is a major bummer, since it has some rather delicate wires soldered onto it, and it has to sit just right in the slot to work at all.

I once looked up how much it would cost me to get 3D printed shells for ST-V and CPS3, but the price was a major turn-off. Also, the jumpers on the ST-V cartridge are not the most convenient way of switching games. It's like a Chinese Neo Geo multi, without the menu board.

There never was a shell, the neosd team went through hell and high water to get shells manufactured that were worth even making in the first place. I doubt darksoft and crew would've spent the cash to do that and then kept them for themselves... what the hell would they do with them?

There must have been. It's a CPS3 cartridge. They always come in their original plastic shells, with a sticker corresponding to the game. Darksoft just re-purposes them, making them universal. So essentially, the cartridge I bought had to have one, but in the end, I got the bare PCB. His early Super BIOS cartridges even had a special sticker and a CD. I didn't even get a damn shell. Every Darksoft product I bought was a bare PCB. To be fair, everything works as advertised, but still. I can understand the lack of shells for custom hardware. They didn't go the extra mile. But CPS3? Someone went an extra step to remove the damn shell.

P.S. - That Smoko song rules. I've been listening to it since yesterday. "Ouughh ... What time is it? IS IT SMOKO!?" Gold.
